I saw that. I just filled an order for XOM @ 68.26, for a yield of 4.27%.

Well at this moment 75.51, and a 2.92 annual dive gives you an effective ROI of 10.6% in a week. YOU RE DA MAN!!!!!!!!!

As you may remember, I had nine equities that I had the trigger finger on. One came within 3%, another 8%, the other 7 didn't get within 10%. Sigh, sometimes the greedy lose. In any case good job, in retrospect, I wish I had added to my XOM position at that price.

That 68.26 price will be averaged against an order @ 75.43 that I had filled on Friday. Average is about 72 or so. I’m satisfied. I’ve never been able to squeeze out the last few points, up or down. If I were that good, I would be at my lodge up in the Canadian Rockies, or lounging about on my 350’ yacht off the Riviera, and not worried about what the riffraff is doing.

It was interesting to read your “manifesto” about saving, investing, spending, etc, and how they parallel most all the same things I do.

It never ceases to amaze me that otherwise intelligent people never understand that those timeless strategies work every time they’re tried.

You can’t imagine how many times I’ve been accused of being “lucky,” or that I’m a “Scrooge,” etc.

A difference of opinion with most everyone else, I guess. But that’s what makes a market.
